Guess what? There ARE training robots? I put a bunch of links in the show notes, check ’em out. Episode 80 is a good one for me to hear now. Back then I was in physical therapy, and I’ve got some similar things going on right now, aches and pains and all that jazz. I am actually in physical therapy again as well. So this week I had a covid false alarm and had to cancel PT. Hoping to get back to my three-a-week schedule starting Monday. Both knees are stiff now, and I have the same arm pain that led to the situation I was in in episode 80. So now I know what it is. I stopped doing traction everyday, and I stopped doing all those PT homework exercises they had me doing back in ’18. The sedentary life I’ve led for the past couple years has not helped either, so I am pretty much back at square one.

Nothing wrong with that. It’s a challenge. I need challenges. I may not always like them, but I strongly believe, and studies prove, that having a purpose leads to longevity, and that’s something I’m interested in. As if stopping the pain I’m in right now wasn’t enough.

Enough complaining. I’m going to go out and act. I hope you will too.
